Let it percolate!

Hey guys, thanks for all the lovely feedback on my last couple of posts. Some of you seem to love the electro remixes and stuff, others of you prefer the more indie songs. Me? I'm split down the middle, so what I'll try and do from now on is post something from both sides, each week. You're lucky - three tracks this week! It's great to get feedback from people, so if you get a song off us and you think it's amazing, please pop back and let us know. Conversely, if you absolutely hate it, then you should tell us too - we're out to please you guys!


Okay. The Indie track for this week is by a band delightfully called Oh No Ono.

Oh No Ono - Practical Money Skills For Life

This is a wonderful bit of synthpop, sounding like Of Montreal if Kevin Barnes had never left Norway, or the Junior Senior covering Bowie. It also sounds vaguely like something a friend of mine wrote on Fruityloops the other day, but as you've never met him, that's a bit of a useless comparison. It's all 'lalala's and falsetto vocals, over synthlines and guitars which sound like they're being squeezed through a cheesegrater against their will.


Kid Sister - Damn Girl

On the more danceable side, we've got Kid Sister. This has a great hook - right at the end we're they're going 'let it percolate! let it percolate!'. I really hope that was just an outtake in the studio where someone tried to get at the coffee too early. On top of that you've got a brilliant synth stab that sounds like you're dropping something off a very tall building.


Late Of The Pier - Space The Woods (C90s Remix)

Finally, and if you're not really into the hippety-hop stuff, you should check this last track out. It's a bit glitchy and occasionally sounds like someone leant on the keyboards by accident and thought 'ooh, that sounds good'. It oscillates from awful - the 'done done done done done' bit - to awesome - the bit right after that - very fast, and suffers from having far far too long an intro, but stick with it and you'll get some rewards. It's the kind of thing I like playing in clubs, because it's easy to mix and I can chill out and have a beer, and let the dancefloor do the same.
